My
world 42 as the darkness fell, 43
the dreams my husband
and I had for us and for our three little boys．But 44 I tried to find some hope and 45 , my eyes were opened to a new
realization.
My
father had 46 me not just failing eyesight, but an
example of 47 in the face of hardships as well．We were all living in Bolivia in 1964 when he decided to 48 the family to America．He worked tirelessly to 49 the right of living in the US.
Alone
in the States, he 50 his helplessness and lack of fluency in
English．He managed to rent a small
apartment, and nine months later, sent airline tickets for my mom, my brother
and me.
Decades
later, 51 an American citizen, I look back at what
he'd shown me．He set
an example proving that determination is important to success．His 52 taught me valuable lessons for my own
path in the darkness.
I
did the same as I stepped into a 53
world．I fulfilled （完成） my own

You
want to know where the safest place for young children is in the car? For a child
of any age, the back seat is the safest place and the safest part of the back
seat is the middle．In the
back seat, the child is farthest away from the force or effect of head-on
collision（撞擊）, which
can cause the most injuries.
All
fifty states of the USA have laws requiring the use of safety seats for young
children．If you have
children under 8 years of age weighing no more than 80 pounds, it is necessary
to fit your car with a special child safety seat.
The
child safety seat comes in three types or sizes: the first type is designed for
babies from birth to one year of age, until the baby weighs about 20 pounds;
the second size is for children between one and four years of age, who weigh
between 20 and 40 pounds; the third kind is used by older children big enough
to use the car's belt system．Moreover, all these safety seats must be fitted and held in place on the
car's back seat．If your
child does need your attention while you are driving, don't look back．Just pull over （�？柯愤叄�.
In
addition, always be sure your child is properly fastened throughout the entire
trip．Children who can unfasten their
own car seats are subject to fatal injuries in an accident．Start early in your child's life teaching them that car safety is serious
business and make sure you give a good example and always wear your own seat
belt.
56．This
passage mainly discusses _____.
A．how a child can be kept safe while riding in a car
B．why the back seat is the safest place in a car
C．how a child safety seat can protect a child
D．what causes young passengers the most injuries
57．This
passage is probably written for _____.
A．school teachers B．very young readers
C．parents of small children D．taxi drivers
58．The
third type of safety seat is for children ______.
A．a(chǎn)bove eight years of age
B．between four and eight
C．weighing between 20 and 40 pounds
D．weighing more than 80 pounds
59．What
safety tip is given in this passage?
A．Always keep your children beside you.
B．Fasten your own safety belt to set an example.
C．Make your child remain seated during the trip.

I
didn't always feel this way．Father's Day and I actually got off to a good start．Even though my parents divorced when I was four, I could spend Father's
Day with my dad．I'd
make my dad a card and then go to the mall to buy him a book or a CD.
The
first change started when I got a new father, Jim．He was a short guy with a big belly．Something about him suggested ease （自在） a marked contrast to my dad, who'd go crazy at the drop of a Coke．I began to look forward to Jim's visits．When my mom said they were getting married, I didn't care.
Some
men are meant to be fathers, but not necessarily fathers to children of any age．When I was still young enough to be bribed （收買） with a gift, Dad was great．My dad was the kind of guy who is easily annoyed and prefers volume （音量） to reason．Gradually,
I found Jim was more comfortable to be around．He soon became the dad I would go to for help with homework, to fix toys and
to talk to teachers．He
offered great comfort.
It
took a few years for me to call Jim "Dad"．I'd never used the cold word "stepfather" with Jim．I just called him Jim．I guess I believe a father is a man who performs the duties a father
should．Jim has done everything I imagine
a "real" dad is supposed to do．So come next Father's Day, he'll also be the one I'll hug, and say
"I love you" to.
60．What
kind of person was the author's birth father?
A．He was hot-tempered． B．He was generous.
C．He was easy-going．
D．He was reasonable.
61．What
can be said about the author when he was still young?
A．He was very close to his father． B．He thought his father was great.
C．He couldn't tolerate his father． D．He didn't like his father.
62．The
author liked Jim because ______.
A．Jim married his mother B．Jim was helpful and responsible
C．Jim lived with his family D．Jim often bought him gifts
63．It can
be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.
A．the author never called Jim Dad
B．the author doesn't respect his father
C．the author regards Jim as his father as well
D．the author will ignore next Father's Day
The
National Gallery now has a fine still life by the 18th century Dutch
painter Jan van Os．This large
picture （89.1 cm
x 71cm） of flowers and fruit is painted
in light bright colours on wood．It is one of the first pictures of this type in the Gallery．The picture is signed and dated 1777 and 1778．It is not unusual for a picture to be dated two years: the artist waited
for particular flowers to come out in their different seasons in order to paint
them．This picture was given to the
Gallery by Miss Violet Churchman in memory of her sister Ida Nancy. It is now
on show in Room 25.
The
exhibition "Painting in Spain During the Late 18th Century" opened in
the Sunley Room on 15 March．Recently the Gallery has bought works by three Spanish painters of this
period―Paret, Melendez and Francisco Bayeu, who are the focus of the exhibition．These three artists are also joined by Francisco's brother Ramon, by
Antonio Gonzalez and two Italians who worked in Spain during these
years―Corrado Giaquinto and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo．The exhibition runs until 31 May.
Lectures
will be given along with the special exhibition every Wednesday．On 8 April, Lizzie Barker will discuss the work of Melendez, while on 15
April, Sarah Symmons will lecture on Luis Patter．On 22 and 29 April, Juliet Wilson will talk about Francisco Bayeu．On 25 April, a Saturday, Erika Langmuir will explain how artists often
"tell a story" through their pictures.
64．What
does "still life" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．A painting of unmoving objects． B．A picture of a country scene.
C．A drawing done in pencil． D．A portrait shown in a public place.
65．How
many artists' paintings are on show at the special exhibition?
A．Three． B．Five． C．Seven． D．Eight.
66．Which
speaker will lecture on a general topic rather than on particular artists?
A．Juliet Wilson． B．Lizzie Barker.
C．Sarah Symmons．
D．Erika Langmuir.
67．Where
will this passage most probably be found?
A．In the booklet of a gallery． B．In a textbook.
C．In an academic journal．
D．In a picture album.
Many
visitors find the fast pace at which American people move very troubling．One's first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush．City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and
are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.
At
first, this may seem unfriendly to you．But drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve
you; people will push past you as they walk along the street．You will misssmiles and conversations with
people as you shop or dine away from home．Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are
unfriendly．Often,
life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as
well.
Americans
who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone
is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to "push
back", just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example．But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become
quite kindly and will take great care to help you．Many of them once came to the city as strangers and they remember how
frightening a new city can be．If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly-looking
person and say, "I am a stranger here．Can you help me?"
Most
Americans enjoy helping a stranger．Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find your way or answer
your questions．But you
must let them know that you need help．Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new
to the city and in need of help.
68．Many
people who first visit the United
States will find that ______.
A．the country is developing very fast
B．American people always seem to be in a rush
C．the fast pace in American life often causes trouble
D．Americans are impatient and unreasonable people
69．"You
will miss smiles" in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A．you will notice that Americans are pleasant people
B．you will think that Americans don't live a happy life
C．you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendly
D．you will find that Americans have little sense of humor
70．The
last two paragraphs seem to suggest that ______.
A．life in New York
is faster than that in any other city
B．people living outside big cities are lazy and slow
C．most American people enjoy living in big cities
D．the busy city people are not as unfriendly as they appear
71．The
author mentions Tokyo, Singapore and Paris because ______.
A．they are different from American cities
B．they are among the world's biggest cities
C．city people worldwide have much in common
D．they are as well-known as New
York City

I
was discussing this problem recently with a colleague who had been beating his
head against the wall for months trying to get a story about a mysterious
"dark force" in cosmology （宇宙學） past editors at The New Yorker．"They kept saying they didn't understand it!" he complained．Well, of course they didn't understand it．Nobody understands it．That's what makes it so interesting.
In
science, feeling confused is essential to progress．An unwillingness to feel lost, in fact, can stop creativity dead in its
tracks．However, editors seem to absorb
difficulty differently．If they
don't understand something, they often think it can't be right ― or that it's
not worth writing about．They are used to being the smartest guys in the room．They forget the fact that relativity （相對論） and quantum mechanics （量子力學） have been around for nearly a century, yet they remain confusing in some
sense．They just don't make sense．On the other hand, why should they? The universe doesn't care what we can
or cannot believe．It
doesn't speak our language, so there's no reason it should "make
sense".
So
it's necessary to know not only what scientists know, but also what they know
they don't know．This is
an unfamiliar concept to editors who are used to dealing with politics or
sports．For all these reasons and more,
the best editors should understand all this．Sometimes you just need to dare to be stupid.
72．What
idea does the author convey in this passage?
A．Editors need to have more knowledge of science.
B．Only scientists understand what science is all about.
C．Editors should admit that they don't understand science.
D．Science has been developing very rapidly.
73．What
did the author's colleague complain about?
A．The readers didn't understand his theory.
B．The editors wouldn't publish his article.
C．Nobody is able to understand "dark force".
D．Cosmology is too mysterious a branch of science.
74．What
does the author think of the theories of quantum mechanics?
A．It doesn't have to make sense.
B．It can't be right.
C．It's only understood by the smartest.
D．It's not worth writing about.
75．Which
of the following is the best title for this passage?
My mother was used to work in a toy factory. 76．was
She really enjoys her job．But two years ago, 77． enjoyed
with others laid-off workers, she had to leave the 78． other
